Another 101 in 1001 update!

I have actually crossed quite a few more things off of my list, so I figured it was time for another update! Some of these things will have to be put on hold for a little while, like I won't be trying any more new beers for a while... or I won't be losing 20 pounds in the immediate future... But I think I'll still have time to fit everything in :)

I've really been thinking about writing my own 1001 in 101 list. I feel like know that the wedding is over, that I need some type of motivation to actually do things, and think a 1001 would be a great self-motivator.
